Shantye Hastings told KOCO 5 she talked with the oldest child who lived in the home. “(The) little girl was crying and I was like, ‘Y'all OK?’ She was, like, ‘No, my mom is gone.’”

Hastings said the little girl was about 6 years old and was standing in the driveway with her two younger brothers and baby sister. “I couldn’t believe it. It’s crazy,” Hastings said.

Other neighbors also came outside as fire started to consume the home. “There was a lot of fire in the structure when we arrived on scene,” said Oklahoma Fire Department Battalion Chief Brian Stanaland.

Hastings said she doesn't know the family. She said they moved into the home a week ago but she tried to make sure their kids were taken care of during the fire. “I was just so nervous. I didn’t know what to do. It just made me feel sad,” she said.

Fire investigators said there were no smoke detectors in the home. “We are very fortunate that the kids were safe in this situation. (It) could have been a very tragic outcome,” Stanaland said.

The Department of Human Servies reported that the four children are back in their mom’s care. Police said no one has been arrested but the investigation is ongoing.
